Offical U.N. account mistakenly tweets support for "1-state solution" in Middle East

Secretary-general actually supports two-state solution

The Tweet was up for over 30 minutes before it was removed and a corrected tweet posted

(CNN) -- Hours before the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a non-member observer state, the official U.N. Twitter account made a very unfortunate one-character typo.

Twitter is an increasingly fertile ground for diplomatic communications around the world. An interesting project from Agence France Presse maps and measures diplomatic tweets around the world on its E-Diplomacy Hub. The project pulls from a database of more than 6,000 Twitter accounts, including heads of state and activists, and maps the communications on a constantly updated map.

You can select a country to see top diplomatic Twitterers and hashtags. An index ranks the most active countries of the past 24 hours.

As Twitter becomes a more common place for countries to communicate, directly or passive-aggressively, typos and mistakes will probably become more commonplace.
